First off, I never used Kanna before but since ND decided to carry it; I wanted to try out their version of it. Upon taking the somewhat bitter tasting 50 mg tablet and letting it dissolve under my tongue, I noticed a very rapid, warm & cozy boost in my mood within about 5 minutes. I simultaneously felt mentally energized yet paradoxically physically relaxed. Kanna would be a great social lubricant to use at parties and big gatherings. Music takes on a deeper fuller vibe (just turned on Deadmau5) particularly trance EDM. The surge of warm energy is unique and very euphoric. The overall experience puts an accent & spice on a dull mundane day. It feeds the inner flame 🔥 within each of us. After about 90 minutes, you are left with an amazing afterglow as the flame burns out into embers that leave you feeling like the experience fades into the background but never fully disappears. Like a perfect decrescendo into a state of bliss that lasts the rest of the day. It’s a very cool compound that is very uplifting. Thank you Nootropics Depot for researching this and bringing it to market.

I really get that, yeah the authority bias is real and some people would set their expectations to a potentially unrealistic bar, then feel let down when it doesn't happen for them.
Supplements are deceptively complex, their subjective effects can be so different person to person, but then the catch is, how do you sell them without setting at least setting some expectations. I can see the tight rope that you have to walk, and I'm sure it's challenging at times, especially when you want to tell everyone how much you like something or are being asked a hundred times per release. Anyway I do appreciate how careful you all are, we, and the industry, certainly need that.

Yep... especially when almost every single one of our competitors is just lying through their teeth constantly. We have to at least try to get people excited for things to even begin to compete with the outright fraud in the rest of the industry. I brought this up before, but we have been absolutely DESTROYED on Amazon for Cistanche. We were the number one seller for Cistanche on Amazon earlier this year in January. Then everyone caught on to the hype, and a bunch more brands popped up. Many of them are claiming to be the same extract as us, but for cheaper. Our sales have been DECIMATED. It really sucks, so we went out and bought all the other products to run through the lab. The new highest seller ISN'T EVEN CISTANCHE!!!! It's totally fucking fake, and I think it has a hidden pharmaceutical ingredient in it. The next highest seller is Cistanche, but it has FIFTY TIME LESS actives than they claim. 50X!!!! Yet they label it as the same as ours, but cheaper. Consumers don't know any better, especially on Amazon, so they buy the cheaper one. How do we compete in a fraudulent system? How can we survive when we are literally one of the only ones selling exactly what we claim to. People say we are expensive, but then they compare us to completely fake products... I could sell things for half price if I just didn't put what we claim in the products, too! Any monkey off the street could do what these shitbag brands are doing. Just sell fake products for cheaper, and use fake reviews to boost your ranking. Throw in a little negative shilling towards the current top brand, and baby you got a stew going... And dude, this is every single fucking product we sell. Hundreds of instances of this same thing happening. Then other brands make shill account on Reddit, and spread lies about us. They take over other subs like /r/NMN, and say we are low quality. Then they spread the propaganda that WE ARE THE ONES SHILLING!!! This is my whole fucking life now. Fighting pieces of shit everywhere I turn. I try to build something good, that makes novel products that contain exactly what we say, and I get attacked from literally all sides.
Anyway... I could rant about shit for days. There's a lot I want to eventually say, but I can't right now. We always try to be the best we can, and do the right thing for the right reasons. I only want to make quality products that people love, and that I love to take myself. I want to push the science forward, and force this industry to change for the better. That's all I care about. It's the only reason I am still here. I don't ever want people to think we are trying to hype things up and sell shit that doesn't work. The last thing I want to do is sell things to people that don't work for them. We have to thread a thin line because of how many eyes are on us. Don't get too excited, or people will think you are overhyping things. Don't be too scientific or sterile, though, or nobody will even want to try the products. Make it easy for people to understand the potential effects of a product, but don't oversimplify it. Be very careful about your wording, so as to not insinuate the treatment of a disease. Read the laws and regulations, and hopefully understand the legalese, so as to not violate thing. However, then watch as every single one of your competitors does none of that, and seems to coast through things just fine....
